Hey investigators, I’m dusting off my old 1st edition AH game and I have a shiny new 3d printer so I thought I’d look for an organizer since all my tokens and cards and such are stored in baggies. Unfortunately all I can find is organizers for 3rd edition which looks significantly different.

Does anyone know of 3d printed or laser cut organizers for 1st edition?

Edit: It looks like this is the revised edition. Not sure if that matters!

Just ran an Echoes of the Deep scenario with Wendy Adams (RE). I paired her with Michael the mobster for some monster fighting capability. It ended up being probably the easiest game of AH 3rd ed. that I have done by far!

Wendy's protective amulet just completely shuts down the mythos bag threat. With only two investigators, during most mythos phases I only ended up pulling one doom token, which was negated by her amulet. Most monsters were dead by this time so there was no one left to move towards her. Avoiding placing doom saves SO MUCH time in this game. Then there is her ability to get a free move after any observation test, which gives her pretty amazing ability as I found I was able to get a lot of movement out of encounters and when doing research.

Plus, it didn't hurt that early in the game, Michael found a spare machine gun that he was able to trade to her along with several clues he had found :)

Any chance someone can take a pic of card 122 of the codex and send it to me? My dog ate the card and we need to know what to do very soon!

Title says it. Could someone send me a picture of this card? Got the game new out of the box we’ve all looked through every card multiple times

I’m getting the core set and looking to play it solo on free nights. Do I need other people and the expansions for replayability?

Don’t want to dish out much money but open to an expansion recommendation or two😎

Found that business card holder is pretty darn handy holder for the event cards. Excuse the onions.

Can certain spells be used at long range? I.e. intervene, binding, etc. (Is there a rule about casting offensive spells only on a monster you are engaged with?)

Can the binding spell be used on an epic monster?

Anyone have a 3D print STL or solution to hold the mini cards for spells etc for each player

So, I just had a game turn around from "juuuuust about to win" to "Everyone dies" in the course of one bad round

I am playing "Veil of Twilight" and in the final battle. My investigators are Calvin, Agnes and the RE version of Wendy. Most of them are pretty badly hurt but I was thinkinking I had enough of a handle on the situation that I could take the big bad in the next turn or two. I was wrong

On the mythos phase, reckoning came up. Calvin had his Dark Pact from the start and Agnes had gained one in the course of the game. Both dark pacts went off on that turn. Ouch. Calvin had to draw sis mythos tokens and Agnes ended up having to put a monster in every space of the neighborhood. Everyone was in the same neighborhood. Then on the action phase Wendy biffs it evading her monster, Calvin and Agnes are fighting but both roll badly as well, so they don't take out their foes. The big bad takes out Calvin and the Lupine Thrall Wendy had gotten took her out too. And that was the beginning of the end.

Went from "almost had it in the bag" to "Lost terribly" in just a couple of turns

We've started playing AH3E with a localized version, loved the game but could not stand the translation. Rules were complicated, and additional layer of struggle with vague translation does not help. We switched to English version pretty quickly, and never looked back.

There was a lot of screaming, arguing, debating, reading and re-reading the rules - just to make sense of the overall mechanics. Games were 5+ hours. But again, the game was fantastic, the tone, the story and overall "loosing is fun" vibe got my friends hooked.

We got through the initial learning, played every few weeks - and dived into more complex stuff.

We made mistakes constantly, both in our favor and against it. We returned mythos tokens into the cup after each draw. We forgot how evade worked. We were doing normal encounters while standing in the anomaly. I think every play group would have something like this. We fixed our errors in time and our win rate became decent.

Yesterday we got together after a brake. We played Tyrants, and were doing pretty good. At the late game we faced monster with Massive, and decided to double-check on the exact mechanic. We remembered correctly, but rulebook checking shifted to attack action in general. Imagine this:

I'm reading the Attack rules, and looking for the section where the monster hits you back when you attack it. And I don't see it.

Looking again. Nothing.

Checking the big rulebook. Not a word.

Confusion. Slow realization.

We've misunderstood one of the basic rules. When you attack the monster - you deal damage, and that's it (if monster card does not says anything specific). No immediate hit back. If monster survives - it can hit you on Monster phase, and only then (again, with specific exceptions).

We've been playing it wrong, and much harder than it should have been. We were focusing and exhausting monsters so we don't get double hits - when attacking them and then in Monster phase. We even invented a home rule, so when you're hitting the monster in the back (engaged with another investigator) - you don't get hit back (but we haven't used it much, as we agreed it is kind of cheating).

Our hypothesis is that localized rules were confusing on Attack and Engage, we understood it wrong and never even thought to re-check after switching to English.

Well, that's a little funny story, right? Basic rule, made our live harder, lost a few games. Fun. Well....

WE'VE PLAYED LIKE THIS FOR FOUR YEARS!!!

We've played every scenario, every expansion, every investigator. We've made Investigator ranking, various cool Home rules (pinned post).

AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH EASIER!!!

I can't. Anyway, share your stories.

Going to try umordhoth In AH3ED - have core + dead of night. Any suggestions for 3 investigators who work well together?

Printed an organizer / holder for the small cards (items, spells etc) and found one for encounter cards .. any other organizers anyone has found? The game takes up so much space so would love to find anything that helps

​

I don't think it affected the game, but I want to know for rules reference. We had a moment where we were treating cards removed from play as not being apart of the set-aside piles because we though removed from play and set-aside were different key words when referring to the locations.

As the title suggests, I'd like to make my own AH3E + expansions plastic or wood tiles because the cardboard ones are getting outworn in time due to extended use. The edges get scratched or the print ripped. Does anyone here have the PNG files for the print? Scanning the already printed cardboard tiles would result in a low-quality image of the original. Also does anyone have the exact dimensions for the tiles (including the streets and the threshold from the expansions)? Thank you very much!

Can we make multiple lore skill test attempts per player in one turn, or does this fall under "you can only do an action once."

Nevertheless, it was an epic game

The rules state that if you have 2 board expansions, it counts as having 1 player less, when it comes to portal and monster limit.

Does this extend towards boss battle (meaning that if you have 5 players, you need 4 success to remove 1 doom token)?

You need 5 clue tokens to seal a gate. However, the Mania condition makes you spend clue tokens in pairs of 2.

Does that mean I have to use 6 clue tokens to seal or it is impossible, since I can't use 5 clue tokens to seal?

I play 3e with the same 2-3 people all the time, and I'm looking for some way to track our progress as we play through the game's various scenarios, so that whenever we're faced with a choice or challenge, we could go back and reference what we have previously tried or experienced.

Has anyone made a more detailed guide to game's various scenarios? Bonus points if it's spoiler-free or spoiler-light, but I'll take whatever I can get.

Title.

I played the game a lot with friends when i was younger, but i have been pretty hard pressed to find places to buy 2nd edition(2008 version). Any help would be greatly appreciated lol, hopefully at a reasonable price. Can’t seem to find them lower than 200ish dollars

Hello! If Zoey uses enchanted weapon and attaches it to another player's weapon, does the enchantment now belong to the new player? Do they get to use it instead of Zoey, and would the enchantment get discarded if Zoey dies?

To me there was no visible difference between the different versions since I‘m really new to the game but somehow I bought (and already opened) the wrong version from 2016. I think on the ffg website it‘s the cheaper one for ~$30 compared to the one for at least $60. What exactly do I miss out on by getting that compared to the other?

Went into local game store and was very surprised to see 2 copies of second edition in stock, look to be new in shrink. Have they done a new printing? Or is it possible their supplier had old stock or the like? Spoke to the game store people but they don't have much knowledge, tend to just take recommendations from supplier.

Link below to make sure I'm not getting confused with a revised third edition or the like:
